This strand of research is asking for social practices and codes; it investigates competing bodies of knowledge, social performances and emotions; interprets textual and visual forms of discourse; analyzes the interrelations of social practices with material artifacts and means of communication; observes individual forms of subjectivity as well as the interaction in social fields and classes. Taking formations of Middle Eastern subjectivities as its departure point, the Tenth Nordic Conference aims to provide a broad platform for contemporary research on the Middle East and Islam while focusing on the interlacements of cultural heritage, global structures and local practices. Disciplinary, methodological, and theoretical questions regarding the interrelation among these three fields of research will be discussed at two roundtables on Area Studies and the formation of modern Muslim subjectivities that take place Thursday and Friday after dinner. Confirmed keynote speakers at these roundtables are Pinar Bilgin (Bilkent University, Ankara), Henner Fürtig (GIGA, German Institute of Global and Area Studies), Sherine Hafez (University of California, Davis), Matteo Legrenzi (Ca Foscari University of Venice), Zachary Lockman (New York University), Emma Murphy (Durham University), Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen (University of Copenhagen) and Samuli Schielke (Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin). In addition, the conference presents two keynote addresses by Ingolf Thuesen (University of Copenhagen) who will address the cultural heritage theme and Walter Armbrust (St. Antony s College, Oxford) who is going to discuss disciplinary challenges in researching Arab media. The conference is supported by the following institutions: Centre for Contemporary Middle East Studies (University of Southern Denmark), Center for Middle Eastern Studies (Lund University), Danish Council for Independent Research, Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (University of Copenhagen), Faculty of Humanities (University of Southern Denmark), The Finish Institute in the Middle East, Institute for History (University of Southern Denmark), Odense Municipality. 2
